Palmer Classic 157 or 161?

I'm about to order a Palmer Classic. The problem is that Palmer's
fancy site doesn't have weight recommendations for their board sizes.

My "specs":
5'7"
165 pounds
sz 10 boot
large bindings
beginner progressing to intermediate skill level

Any expert opinions between which is a better fit: a 157 or a 161?
Thanks.

the 157 should work best, but I would check and make sure it's wide
enough for you. have you ever had any problems with toe/heel drag?

if I recall the 157 is about 250 mm wide at the waist so that's probably
OK, but it depends on your foot angles too. also what kind of riding do
you do more....park or freeride?
